RELATED ART

Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most frequent malignancy worldwide, with more than 1 million cases diagnosed each year in the US alone (Bowden G T. Nat Rev Cancer. 2004; 4:23-35). NMSC refers to a group of diseases including actinic keratosis (AK), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC), cSCC in situ (cSCCis or Bowen's Disease (BD)) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC, also known as basalioma or basal cell cancer) (Di Magliano P. et al., Nature Rev. Cancer 2003, 3, 903-911). cSCC and BCC are the most common forms of NMSC and account for greater than 40% of newly diagnosed cancers (Bowden G T. Nat Rev Cancer. 2004, 4, 23-35). Although BCC has a very low metastatic risk, this tumor can cause significant disfigurement by invading surrounding tissues. BCC is a distinctive manifestation in nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) patients. Both inherited and acquired mutations of patched 1 (PTCH1), a tumor-suppressor gene controlling the activity of Smoothened (SMO), are the primary cause of the constitutive activation of the Hedgehog (HH) pathway, leading to the emergence of BCCs in NBCCS (Di Magliano P. et al., Nature Rev. Cancer 2003; 3, 903-911; Merchant A A et al., Clin. Cancer Res. 2010, 16, 3130-3140). Smo inhibitors and PI3K pathway inhibitors have been shown to delay or prevent the development of resistance which is observed upon treatment with SMO antagonists alone (Buonamici S. et al., Science transl. Med. 2010, 2, 51ra70).

Several studies indicate that PI3K/mTOR signaling may play a critical role in NMSC, in particular in the AK and cSCC development (Ayli E E et al., J. Cutaneous Pathology 2008, 35, 273-277). Immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of human epidermal tumors showed that mTOR itself, as well as its downstream effectors 4EBP1, S6K, and AKTSer473 are phosphorylated at much higher levels in SCC and precancerous actinic keratosis (AK) than normal skin (Chen S J, et al. Br J Dermatol. 2009; 160, 442-5). More recently, reverse phase protein microarray analysis of cSCC and AK revealed aberrantly activated mTOR pathways in the pre-cancerous and transformed tissues compared to normal skin (Einspahr J G, et al. Cancer Prev Res (Phila). 5, 403-13). Thus, significant up-regulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was not only found in cSCC and in cSCCis (BD), but also in AK when compared to normal, healthy skin. Increased PI3K/mTOR pathway activity may already be seen in sun-damaged skin lesions (Ratushny V et al., J. Clin. Investigation 2012, 122, 464-472).

Low-risk cSCC on the trunk and extremities can be treated with electrodessication and curettage (ED&C). For invasive cSCC, surgical excision and Mohs micrographic surgery are the primary treatment options; with appropriate patient selection, these techniques have comparable cure rates. Radiation therapy is typically used as an adjuvant to surgery, to provide improved locoregional control, but it may be used as primary therapy in patients who are unable to undergo surgical excision. Chemotherapy may be considered as adjuvant therapy in select highest-risk cases of cSCC. In particular, emerging evidence suggests that epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors may be useful adjuncts to surgical treatment. Systemic chemotherapy may be considered for metastatic cSCC.

Radiation therapy as primary treatment for cSCC is typically reserved for patients who are unable to undergo surgical excision. More frequently, radiation therapy is used as an adjuvant to surgery for improved locoregional control. Postoperative radiotherapy is considered for tumors that exhibit perineural invasion or other high-risk features and for those that involve regional metastasis.

A variety of different chemotherapeutic agents have been used to treat metastatic cSCC. Although many of these agents have an established role in chemotherapy for mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, high-quality data is frequently lacking for their use in cSCC. Among the most common nontargeted agents used in cSCC are cisplatin and carboplatin, 5-FU, and taxanes (Martinez J C et al., Dermatologic Surgery 2004, 30, 679-686).

Adjuvant medication may be considered in selected highest-risk cases of cSCC. Options include oral 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Treatment should be administered through oncology treatment centers.

A variety of different chemotherapeutic agents have been used to treat metastatic cSCC. Although many of these agents have an established role in chemotherapy for mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, high-quality data is frequently lacking for their use in cSCC. Among the most common nontargeted agents used in cSCC are cisplatin and carboplatin, 5-FU, and taxanes.

Several treatment modalities exist for precancerous skin lesions, including cSCCis (BD) and actinic keratosis. Topical application of 5-FU or imiquimod and diclofenac used for the treatment of precancerous skin lesions have negative side effects including skin irritation and severe inflammation or show moderate/low efficacy (Kose O. et al., J. Dermatol. Treatment 2008, 19, 159-163). Similarly, liquid nitrogen cryotherapy or electrocautery and curettage may be used. The risks associated with cryotherapy include transient pain, edema, and blistering. Hypopigmentation and alopecia are also common and may be permanent, so treatment of hair-bearing areas and in darkly pigmented individuals is generally not recommended.

Cutaneous lymphomas are indolent but treatable (not curable) and usually not life-threatening.

Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) has variable limited skin involvement and may be accompanied by tumor formation, ulceration, and exfoliation, complicated by itching and infections. Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas (CBCL) are a less common version of cutaneous lymphomas, making up about 20-25% of all cutaneous lymphomas.

There are multiple treatments for cutaneous lymphoma (topical or systemic): Topical: Corticosteroids, Bexarotene (Targretin), Mechlorethamine (Mustargen and Valchlor), Carmustin (BCNU), Phototherapy, Local and total skin electron beam conventional radiotherapy. Systemic: Various targeted biological immuno-therapies, HDAC inhibitors and chemotherapies

In conclusion, there is an ongoing need for improved therapies for skin lesions.

DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES

K14-Fyn-Y528F mice were treated with a topical application of a gel containing Compound 1* (10 mg of Compound 1*) or nothing (control) were dissolved in 75 ul of DMSO and then propyleneglycol was added to 1000 mg (final concentration is 1% (w/w) (FIGS. 1A, B and C). The Compound 1* treated cohort contained 6 mice with 20 cSCC lesions (FIG. 1B) while the control cohort contained 6 mice with 15 cSCC lesions (FIG. 1A). The size of each SCC was measured using calipers before treatment and weekly thereafter. Gels were applied to lesions daily once Mo-Fr. As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C and the once daily topical application of Compound 1* gel induced almost complete regression of all cSCC lesions in the K14-Fyn Y528F model without prominent inflammation or ulceration within 4 weeks.

FIG. 1: Effect of topical application of compound 1* or vehicle on cSCC lesions in K14-Fyn-Y528F mice.

12 of 6-week-old K14-Fyn-Y528F mice were grouped in two cohorts (6 mice each) carrying either 15 cSCC lesion (control group) or 20 cSCC lesions (treatment group). Using Calipers, the size of the lesions was measured before start of treatment (and weekly thereafter) and varied from 4-68 mm2 (the size range of the lesions in each cohort was similar at the beginning). The lesions were treated topically by daily application (5× per week for 4 weeks) either with vehicle (1A) or compound 1* (1B); vehicle: 75 ul DMSO mixed with propyleneglycol to a total of 1000 mg, compound 1*: 10 mg of compound 1* dissolved in 75 ul of DMSO mixed with propyleneglycol to a total of 1000 mg. The various abbreviations denote the site of the individual lesions. The areas of each lesion for each time point were normalized to the area at the start (relative tumor area at WKO=100). In the vehicle group (1A), one of the individual lesion disappeared spontaneously (L back T2). In the compound-treated group (1B), all 20 individual lesion disappeared upon treatment. The mean values ±SEM for the cSCC lesion-areas in both groups are compared in 1C and 1D. Significant reduction (50% mean-area, p<0.001) of the lesions in the treatement group occurred already after 5 days.

FIG. 2: Treespot of Compound 1*. The human kinome is represented as circular phylogenetetic tree with the 8 main groups of typical protein kinases and 9 groups of atypical protein kinases. The mutant variants of some protein kinases are also shown, as well as the lipid kinase panel, which is not integral part of the human kinome. The results are reported as a map (Treespot), which allows visualizing compound interactions across the human kinome and lipid kinase panel. Kinases found to bind to Compound 1* are marked with circles, where larger circles indicate higher-affinity.

FIG. 3: PK profiles of nine formulations comprising the inventive compounds and control have been assessed. The control formulation Aldara (5% imiquimod) was applied to detect variations in skin permeability (local variability in the same animal and inter-subject variability). The stratum corneum was removed by tape stripping to avoid contamination during the biopsy extraction. From the application sites dosed with the 9 test formulations, 3 replicate biopsies were taken at 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours post dose. One biopsy was taken from each control site. Additionally, 5 blank samples were taken.

FIG. 4: PK profiles of three formulations comprising the inventive compounds. Excised pig skin was placed in a climate chamber to control temperature and humidity. From every application site (20×40 mm) three replicate biopsies were taken at 6 hours, 12 hours, 18 hours and 24 hours post dose. Before biopsies were taken the stratum corneum was removed by tape stripping and biopsies consisted of the remaining epidermis and entire dermis.

FIG. 5: PK of 1% Cpd1* in either propylene glycol or PEG. A 30-45 kg domestic pig was anaesthetized for a duration of 12 hours. Each of the four formulations were applied 6 times (2 replicates for each of the three time points—6, 9 and 12 hours) on 24 different application sites At the end of the study the pig was sacrificed and stratum corneum removed by tape stripping.

FIG. 6: Effect of Cpd1* on SKH1 UV-B irradiated mice during the 24 day treatment (FIG. 6A) and at the end of 24 day treatment (FIG. 6B).

Hairless SKH1 mice were irradiated as described below for 102 days prior to treatment with Cpd1*. NT=Not treated, V=Vehicle. In vivo topical treatment of Actinic Keratosis on SKH1-UVB induced mice model was performed with either NT or V or Cpd1* 3 mg/mouse/day using a non-optimized formulation as described for the cSCC mouse model.

Mid dorsal photo on two selected mice by group is shown (NT: mouse 1-1 and mouse 1-4; V: mouse 2-3 and mouse 2-6; Cpd1*: mouse 3-4 and mouse 3-6).

Hairless SKH-1 mice (Charles River Laboratories) were used for all in vivo experiments and they were fed with standard chow. SKH-1 mice (6-8 weeks old, weighting 18-20 g) in individual housing (one mouse/cage) were UV-B-exposed every single day for about 14-15 weeks in dedicated cabinet. Medium wave UV-B lamps T-40.M were from Vilber Lourmat (Eberhardzell, Germany), and run from 280 to 320 nm with an energy peak at 312 nm. The MED (minimal erythema dose) of this device was defined at 0.06 J/cm²/day, which represents about 20 minutes UV-B exposure per day for SKH-1 mice. UV-B irradiation dose was internally calibrated before each experiment to adjust irradiation period. To generate AK lesions and to prevent the risk of skin burn, gradual exposure was performed as follow: 10 days at 0.05 J/cm²/day, 10 days at 0.055 J/cm²/day and then the MED was applied for the up to 102 days.

FIG. 7: Effect of Cpd1* on SKH1 UV-B irradiated mice after discontinuation of treatment for 17 days.

Hairless SKH1 mice were irradiated as described in FIG. 6. After treatment for 24 days with Cpd1* at 3 mg/mouse/day using a non-optimized formulation as described for the cSCC mouse model the treatment was discontinued. After 17 days of discontinuation of treatment photos of the Left flank, Mid dorsal and Right flank were taken for 3 selected mice per group (NT: mouse 1-4 and mouse 1-5 and 1-6; Vehicle: mouse 2-4 and and mouse 2-5 and mouse 2-6; Cpd1*: mouse 3-4 and mouse 3-5 and mouse 3-6).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference will now be made in detail to the presented and further aspects and the presented and further embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying structures and formulas. While the invention will be described in conjunction with the enumerated embodiments, it will be understood that they are not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments. One skilled in the art will recognize many methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein, which could be used in the practice of the present invention. The present invention is in no way limited to the methods and materials herein described.

Features, integers and characteristics, described in conjunction with a particular aspect, embodiment or example of the invention are to be understood to be applicable to any other aspect, embodiment or example described herein unless incompatible therewith. All of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), and/or all of the steps of any method or process so disclosed, may be combined in any combination, except combinations where at least some of such features and/or steps are mutually exclusive. The invention is not restricted to the details of any foregoing embodiments. The invention extends to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the features disclosed in this specification (including any accompanying claims, abstract and drawings), or to any novel one, or any novel combination, of the steps of any method or process so disclosed.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs.

For the purposes of interpreting this specification, the following definitions will apply and whenever appropriate, terms used in the singular will also include the plural and vice versa. It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting.

The terms “comprising”, “having”, and “including” are to be construed as open-ended terms (i.e., meaning “including, but not limited to,”) unless otherwise noted.

The terms “individual,” “subject” or “patient” are used herein interchangeably. In a preferred embodiment, the subject is a human.

The term “chiral” refers to molecules, which have the property of non-superimposability of the mirror image partner, while the term “achiral” refers to molecules, which are superimposable on their mirror image partner.

The term “stereoisomers” refers to compounds, which have identical chemical constitution, but differ with regard to the arrangement of the atoms or groups in space.

“Diastereomer” refers to a stereoisomer with two or more centers of chirality in which the compounds are not mirror images of one another. Diastereomers have different physical properties, e.g. melting points, boiling points, spectral properties, and chemical and biological reactivities. Mixtures of diastereomers may be separated under high resolution analytical procedures such as electrophoresis and chromatography.

“Enantiomers” refer to two stereoisomers of a compound which are non-superimposable mirror images of one another. Stereochemical definitions and conventions used herein generally follow S. P. Parker, Ed., McRaw-Hiff Dictionary of Chemical Terms (1984), McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York; and Eliel, E. and Wilen, S., “Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds”, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1994. The compounds of the invention may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and therefore exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that all stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the invention, including but not limited to, diastereomers, enantiomers and atropisomers, as well as mixtures thereof such as racemic mixtures, form part of the present invention. Many organic compounds exist in optically active forms, i.e., they have the ability to rotate the plane of plane-polarized light. In describing an optically active compound, the prefixes D and L, or R and S, are used to denote the absolute configuration of the molecule about its chiral center(s). The prefixes d and 1 or (+) and (−) are employed to designate the sign of rotation of plane-polarized light by the compound, with (−) or 1 meaning that the compound is levorotatory. A compound prefixed with (+) or d is dextrorotatory. For a given chemical structure, these stereoisomers are identical except that they are mirror images of one another. A specific stereoisomer may also be referred to as an enantiomer, and a mixture of such isomers is often called an enantiomeric or a scalemic mixture. A 50:50 mixture of enantiomers is referred to as a racemic mixture or a racemate. The term “tautomer” or “tautomeric form” refers to structural isomers of different energies, which are interconvertible via a low energy barrier. For example, proton tautomers include interconversions via migration of a proton, such as keto-enol and imine-enamine isomerizations.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” as used herein, refers to pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic salts of a compound of the invention, in particular acid addition salts. Exemplary salts include, but are not limited to, sulfate, citrate, acetate, oxalate, chloride, bromide, iodide, nitrate, bisulfate, phosphate, acid phosphate, isonicotinate, lactate, salicylate, acid citrate, tartrate, oleate, tannate, pantothenate, bitartrate, ascorbate, succinate, maleate, gentisinate, fumarate, gluconate, glucuronate, saccharate, formate, benzoate, glutamate, methanesulfonate (mesylate), ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and pamoate salts. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt may involve the inclusion of another molecule such as an acetate ion, a succinate ion or other counter ion. The counter ion may be any organic or inorganic moiety that stabilizes the charge on the parent compound. Furthermore, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt may have more than one charged atom in its structure. Instances where multiple charged atoms are part of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have multiple counter ions. Hence, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt can have one or more charged atoms and/or one or more counter ion.

If the compound of the invention is a base, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, methanesulfonic acid, phosphoric acid and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or ethanesulfonic acid, or the like.

The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” indicates that the substance or composition must be compatible chemically and/or toxicologically, with the other ingredients comprising a formulation, and/or the mammal being treated therewith.

A “solvate” refers to an association or complex of one or more solvent molecules and a compound of the invention. Examples of solvents that form solvates include, but are not limited to, water, isopropanol, ethanol, methanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethyl acetate, acetic acid, and ethanolamine. The term “hydrate” refers to the complex where the solvent molecule is water.

The term “protecting group” refers to a substituent that is commonly employed to block or protect a particular functionality during the reaction of other functional groups on the compound. For example, an “amino-protecting group” is a substituent attached to an amino group that blocks or protects the amino functionality in the compound. Suitable amino-protecting groups include acetyl, trifluoroacetyl, tert-butoxycarbonyl (BOC), benzyloxycarbonyl and 9-fluorenylmethylenoxycarbonyl (Fmoc). For a general description of protecting groups and their use, see T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991.

The terms “compound of this invention” and “compounds of the present invention” and “compounds of formula (I)” include stereoisomers, geometric isomers, tautomers, solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and solvates of the salts thereof.

The term “skin lesion” as used herein refers to a skin lesion which may be a skin cancer, such as non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) or a pre-invasive neoplastic skin proliferation, such as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in situ (cSCCis or Bowen's disease) or actinic keratosis (AK, also called “solar keratosis” and “senile keratosis”). Bowen's disease is a neoplastic skin disease which can be considered as an early stage or intraepidermal form of squamous cell carcinoma. Actinic keratosis is characterized by pre-cancerous patches of thick, scaly, or crusty skin, which are usually formed when skin gets damaged by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or indoor tanning beds.

The terms “non-melanoma skin cancer” and “NMSC” are used herein interchangeably. The term “NMSC” refers to a group of diseases including actinic keratosis (AK), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), Bowen's Disease (BD) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

The term “field cancerization” refers to premalignant field defects and is a biological process in which large areas of cells at a tissue surface or within an organ are affected by carcinogenic alterations. The process arises from exposure to an injurious environment, such as UV radiation, often over a lengthy period. The initial step in field cancerization is associated with various molecular lesions such as acquired genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, occurring over a widespread, multi-focal “field”. The field is affected by subclinical (nonvisible, nonpalpable) AK lesions, early AK lesions, late AK lesions, and possibly even invasive cSCCs. The concept of field cancerization provides the rationale for field therapy, in which the entire field—rather than individual lesions—is treated. The goals of field therapy are to eliminate not only clinically visible lesions but also subclinical lesions and to prevent the development of invasive SCC.

The terms “cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma” and “cSCC” are used herein interchangeably. cSCC is a histologically distinct form of cancer. It arises from the uncontrolled multiplication of cells of epithelium, or cells showing particular cytological or tissue architectural characteristics of squamous-cell differentiation, such as the presence of keratin, tonofilament bundles, or desmosomes, structures involved in cell-to-cell adhesion.

The terms “treatment”/“treating” as used herein include: (1) preventing or delaying the appearance of clinical symptoms of the state, disorder or condition developing in a subject that may be afflicted with or predisposed to the state, disorder or condition but does not yet experience or display clinical or subclinical symptoms of the state, disorder or condition; (2) inhibiting the state, disorder or condition (e.g. arresting, reducing or delaying the development of the disease, or a relapse thereof in case of maintenance treatment, of at least one clinical or subclinical symptom thereof); and/or (3) relieving the condition (i.e. causing regression of the state, disorder or condition or at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms). The benefit to a patient to be treated is either statistically significant or at least perceptible to the patient or to the physician. However, it will be appreciated that when a medicament is administered to a patient to treat a disease, the outcome may not always be effective treatment. In one embodiment, the terms “treatment”/“treating” as used herein, refer to a therapeutic treatment. In another embodiment, the terms “treatment”/“treating” as used herein, refer to a prophylactic treatment.

The term “mammal” includes, but is not limited to, humans, mice, rats, guinea pigs, monkeys, dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, and sheep. The term “mammal”, as used herein, preferably refers to humans.

With regard to actinic keratosis (AK) the term “treatment” as used herein comprises lesion-directed and field-directed therapies. Lesion-directed therapy may be useful in the treatment of discrete, solitary lesions. Other factors considered when deciding which treatment option to pursue are morphology and duration of lesions, preexisting skin cancer, and individual patient factors such as age, immune status, cosmesis, pain tolerance, and treatment adherence. Field-directed therapy is indicated when there are multiple lesions on a chronically photodamaged field or a history of multiple lesions. Lesion-directed and field-directed therapies can be used in combination. The advantage of combination therapy is enhanced therapeutic effect, especially in difficult-to-treat case.

As used herein, the term “systemic administration” refers to administration of a compound according to the invention, such that the compound becomes widely distributed in the body in significant amounts and has a biological effect, e.g. its desired effect, in the blood and/or reaches its desired site of action via the vascular system. Typical systemic routes of administration include administration by (1) introducing the compound directly into the vascular system or (2) oral, pulmonary, or intramuscular administration wherein the compound is adsorbed, enters the vascular system, and is carried to one or more desired site(s) of action via the blood.

The terms “oral”, “orally”, and “oral administration”, as used herein, refer to orally ingesting a compound of the present invention.

The term “topical administration” is used in its broadest sense to include administration to a surface on the body that is generally open to the surroundings. This includes not only the skin but also the nasal and oral passages and the genitalia. Thus, topical administration can include application to the skin, application to the nasal passages, application to the oral cavity (including the upper throat), and application to the genitalia. Topical formulations have been available in a variety of forms, including creams, ointments, solutions, lotions, suspensions, pastes, emulsions, foams and the like. Water miscible creams have generally been employed for moist or weeping lesions, whereas ointments have been generally chosen for dry, lichenified or scaly lesions or where a more occlusive effect has been required. Lotions have generally been useful when minimal application to a large or hair-bearing area has been required or for the treatment of exudative lesions.

Skin lesions, such as cSCC, AK or cSCCis are usually diagnosed/assessed by physical examination, but can be confirmed by histological analysis.

The expression “effective amount” means an amount of a compound of the present invention that (i) treats or prevents the particular disease, condition, or disorder, (ii) attenuates, ameliorates, or eliminates one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder, or (iii) prevents or delays the onset of one or more symptoms of the particular disease, condition, or disorder described herein.

Example 2 In Vitro mTOR Binding Assay and In-Cell Western Blot

In Vitro mTOR Binding Assay

N-terminally GST-tagged mTOR (Cat. No. PR8683B; 0.45 mg/ml; truncated version: amino acids 1360-2549), Alexa Fluor® 647 labeled kinase Tracer 314 (Cat. No. PV6087), LanthaScreen Eu-anti-GST Tag antibody (Cat. No. PV5594) were purchased from Life Technologies. The 1× mTOR Kinase Buffer consists of 50 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM EGTA, and 0.01% Pluronic F-127 (Sigma Cat. No. P2443-250G).

A 10-point 4-fold serial dilution (highest concentration at 10 μmol/L and lowest concentration at 40 pmol/L) of each compound was tested for mTOR binding in duplicate in a 384-well plate. To perform the LanthaScreen kinase binding assay 5 μl of the test compounds concentrated 3× the final concentration, 5 μl of 9 nM GST-mTOR/6 nM Eu-anti-GST antibody mixture and 5 μl of 30 nM Tracer 314 solution were mixed together resulting to a final concentration of 3 nM GST-mTOR, 2 nM Eu-anti-GST antibody and 10 nM Tracer 314 per well. After 30 min incubation at RT, time-resolved FRET was measured with a Synergy 4 multi-mode microplate reader (Biotek Instruments) using the following settings: 100 microsecs delay before data collection, 200 microsecs time for data collection, 10 measurements per data point. Emission filter: 665 nm/8 nm with sensitivity set to 190 and 620 nm/10 nm with sensitivity set to 130; Excitation filter: 340 nm/30 nm; Dichroic mirror 400 nm.

For data analysis, the mean background (wells with only mTOR kinase buffer) was subtracted and the emission ratio calculated by dividing the signal emitted at 665 nm from the acceptor (Alexa Fluor® 647 labeled Tracer 314) by the signal emitted at 620 nm from the donor (Eu-labeled antibody). IC₅₀ values of each compound were determined by plotting the emission ratio versus the compound concentrations (in logarithmic scale) and then by fitting a sigmoidal dose-response curve with variable slope to the data using GraphPad Prism.

In-Cell Western Blot

A2058 cells are plated at 20,000 cells/well in a 96-well plate (Perkin Elmer, Cat. No. 6005558) and 24 hours later treated with different compounds for 1 hour.

After 3 times 5 minutes wash with PBS/1% BSA/0.1% triton cells are treated with the secondary antibodies goat-anti-mouse IRDye680 (LICOR, Cat. No. 926-68070) and goat-anti-rabbit IRDye800 (LICOR, 926-32211) (each diluted 1:500 in PBS/1% BSA/0.1% triton) for 1 hour while shaking in the dark. Cells are washed 3 times 5 minutes with PBS/1% BSA/0.1% triton and plate scanned with the Odyssey Infrared Scanning system using both 700 and 800 nm channels. As control for 0% inhibition vehicle (0.2% DMSO) is added to cells. To correct for background staining in the data analysis wells are treated only with secondary antibodies.

For data analysis the mean background signal from channel 700 nm and 800 nm are subtracted from each signal in channel 700 nm and 800 nm, respectively. The signals in each channel are normalized to the 0% inhibition and then signal ratio 800 nm over 700 nm is performed to obtain the values for either pPKB 5473 or pS6 S235/S236 normalized to α-Tubulin.

IC₅₀ values of each compound are determined by plotting the normalized pPBK S473 and pS6 S235/S236 signals, respectively, versus the compound concentrations (in logarithmic scale) and then by fitting a sigmoidal dose-response curve with variable slope to the data using GraphPad™ Prism.

Example 3

A: Kinase Binding

In order to test binding of Cpd. 1 to PI3K isoforms and related kinases, a biochemical assay was performed at DiscoveRx (Fremont, USA) (Table 13, Rows 1-7).

B: Kinase Inhibition

Furthermore, compound 1* and reference compounds were analyzed for their ability to inhibit kinase function of PIK3CA and related kinases (Proqinase, Germany) (Column3 of Table 13). Lipid kinases PIK3CA, PIK3CB, PIK3CG, PIK3CD, (PI3K α, β, γ and 88), PIK3C2A, PIK3C2B, PIK3C2G, PIK3C3, PIK4B were tested in an ADP-Glo assay (Promega, USA). Protein kinases mTOR and DNAPK were tested in a radiometric ³³P-γATP assay (³³PanQinase® Activity Assay, Proqinase, Germany). IC₅₀ values were measured by testing 10 semi-log concentrations of each compound in the range from 1×10-04 M to 3×10-09 M, in singlicate. Prior to testing, the compounds dissolved to 1×10-02M stock solutions in volumes of 100% DMSO as stated in the compound submission form (CSF). 100 μl of each stock solution were transferred into column 2 of a microtiter plate. Subsequently, the 1×10-02 M stock solutions in column 2 of the master plate were subjected to a serial, semi-logarithmic dilution using 100% DMSO as a solvent. This resulted in 10 distinct concentrations, with a dilution endpoint of 3×10-07 M/100% DMSO. Pure DMSO was used as control. Compounds were diluted with water and then transferred into the assay resulting in a 1% DMSO solution in a concentration range of 1×10-04 M to 3×10-09 M.

For measuring lipid kinase inhibition, assays were performed in 96-well half-area microtiter plates. The following solutions were mixed and incubated for 30° C. for 40 minutes: 10 μl of ATP solution (50 mM HEPES-NaOH, pH 7.5, 1 mM EGTA, 100 mM NaCl, 0.03% CHAPS, 2 mM DTT, ATP (PIK3C3, 20 nM; PIK3CA, 150 nM, PIK3CB 300 nM, PIK3CG 500 nM, PIK3CG 100 nM), kinase (PK3C3, 25 ng/25 μl; PIK3CA, 2 25 ng/25 μl, PIK3CB 10 25 ng/25 μl, PIK3CG 5 25 ng/25 μl, PIK3CG 40 25 ng/25 μl) and substrate (50 or 100 nM, respectively), 5 μl of test sample in 5% DMSO and 10 μl of enzyme/substrate mixture. The assay for PIK3C3 additionally contained 3 mM MnCl2, the assay for PIK3CA/PIK3R1, PIK3CB/PIK3R1, PIK3CD/PIK3R1 and PIK3CG additionally contained 3 mM MgCl2. 50 μl kinase detection reagent per well was added followed by an incubation for further 60 minutes at room temperature. Signal was measured with a microplate reader (Victor2, Perkin Elmer, Boston, Ma, USA), in luminescence mode.

For measuring protein kinase activity, the reaction mixture was pipetted into a 96 well plate in four steps in the following order: 20 μl of assay buffer, 5 μl of ATP solution (in H2O), 5 μl of test compound (in 10% DMSO), 20 μl enzyme/substrate mix. The assay for all protein kinases contained 70 mM HEPES-NaOH pH 7.5, 3 mM MgCl2, 3 mM MnC12, 3 μM Na-orthovanadate, 1.2 mM DTT, 50 μg/ml PEG20000, 1 μM ATP, [γ-33P]-ATP (approx. 1.8×1006 cpm per well), protein kinase (0.1 nM DNA-PK; 2.4 nM mTOR), and substrate (2 μg/well for DNA-PK and 1 μg/well for mTOR). The DNA-PK assay additionally contained 2.5 μg/ml DNA. The reaction cocktails were incubated at 30° C. for 60 minutes. The reaction was stopped with 50 μl of 2% (v/v) H3PO4, plates were aspirated and washed two times with 200 μl 0.9% (w/v) NaCl. Incorporation of 33Pi was determined with a microplate scintillation counter (Microbeta, Wallac). All assays were performed with a BeckmanCoulter/SAGIAN™ Core System.

The compound IC₅₀ values for all kinases tested were calculated using Quattro Workflow V3.1.0 (Quattro Research GmbH, Germany).

In order to specify the affinities of Compound 1* towards kinases that showed >50% inhibition in the Kinome Scan, dissociation constants (Kd) for Compound 1* were determined from dose-response curves with the KINOMEscan technology for the class I PI3Ks (α, β, γ and δ), for the class II PI3K PIK3C2B, for the class III PI3K PIK3C3 (Vps34), for the PIKKs (Class IV) mTOR and DNAPK and for the PI4 kinase PIK4B. The smaller the dissociation constant, the higher is the affinity between test compound and kinase. Determination of Kd revealed that Compound 1* was binding with high affinities to the ATP-site of PI3K Class-I family PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ with 0.002 μM, 0.011 μM, 0.025 μM and 0.025 μM, respectively (Table 13, Column 2). Weak binding was observed to Class II PIK3CB (Kd: 0.82 μM), and to the Class III family kinase PIK3C3 (Kd: 0.23 μM). Compound 1* showed high affinity to the Class-IV PIKK mTOR (Kd: 0.012 μM) while binding to the other PIKK-member, DNAPK, was about 130-fold weaker (Kd: 1.6 μM) and no binding was observed to the PI4 kinase PIK4B (Kd >40 μM).

In order to investigate its selectivity and interactions across the human kinome, Compound 1* was tested in the KINOMEscan™. Developed by DiscoveRx, KINOMEscan™ employs proprietary active-site dependent competition binding assays allowing the determination of affinities of compounds to the ATP site of protein and lipid kinases. KINOMEscan assays do not require ATP and thereby report true thermodynamic interaction affinities, as opposed to IC50 values, which can depend on the ATP concentration (See more at: http://www.discoverx.com/technologies-platforms/competitive-binding-technology/kinomescan-technology-platform#sthash.TRzjYTmK.dpuf.

In a primary screen, Compound 1* was tested at a single concentration of 10.0 μM against 456 human protein and lipid kinases. In these assays, binding of the test compound to a kinase results in reduction of the signal and the results for the primary screen are reported as % Ctrl (percentage of control), where lower numbers indicate stronger hits (FIG. 2).

Binding assays: A 11-point 3-fold serial dilution of each test compound was prepared in 100% DMSO at 100× final test concentration and subsequently diluted to 1× in the assay (final DMSO concentration=2.5%) as described by DiscoveRx (Fremont, USA) (Table 13). As shown in Table 13 (Column1), a potent inhibition of binding at 10.0 μM of Compound 1* was observed for the PI3K Class-I family (PI3Kα, β, γ and δ), the relevant PI3Kα (PIK3CA) mutants as well as mTOR and to certain degree also Class-II (PIK3CB with a Kd=0.82 μM). Determination of Kd revealed that Compound 1* was binding to the ATP-site of PI3K Class-I family PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kγ and PI3Kδ with 2 nM, 11 nM, 25 nMM and 25 nM, respectively. Also potent binding to the ATP site of mTOR (Kd: 12 nM) was observed. Compound 1* inhibits potently the lipid kinase activity of all recombinantly produced PI3K Class-I subtypes including the mutant version of PI3Kα and mTOR with IC₅₀ in the nanomolar range [2 to 25 nM] tand o certain degree also Class-II (PIK3CB with a Kd=0.82 μM) without affecting significantly other lipid and protein kinase tested in biochemical assays (456 kinases of Kinomescan, DiscoverX).

Kinase assay: We also analyzed Compound 1* for its ability to inhibit kinase function of PIK3CA and related kinases (Proqinase, Germany). Lipid kinases PIK3CA, PIK3CB, PIK3CG, PIK3CD, PIK3C2A, PIK3C2B, PIK3C2G, PIK3C3, PIK4B were tested in an ADP-Glo assay (Promega, USA). Protein kinases mTOR and DNAPK were tested in a radiometric ³³P-γATP assay (³³PanQinase® Activity Assay, Proqinase, Germany). IC₅₀ values were measured by testing 10 semi-log concentrations of each compound in the range from 1×10-04 M to 3×10-09 M, in singlicate.

Example 4

The anti-proliferative activity of Compound 1* was tested in a panel of cells with epidermoid origin. The data demonstrate that Compound 1* with the exception of the MC7 cells inhibited all cell lines between 1598 nM and 1485 nM.

All cell lines have been licensed from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Manassas, Va. (US). Master and working cell banks (MCB and WCB) were prepared by subculturing in ATCC-recommended media and freezing according to ATCC recommended protocols (www.atcc.org). Cell line stocks for the assays were prepared from the WCB. The MCB, WCBs and assay stocks were prepared within respectively 3, 6 and 9 passages of the ATCC vial. Solid powders of reference compounds were stored as indicated by the supplier. Compounds were weighed on a calibrated balance and dissolved in 100% DMSO. DMSO samples were stored at room temperature. At the day of the experiment, the compound stock was diluted in 3.16 fold steps in 100% DMSO to obtain a 9-point dilution series. This was further diluted 31.6 times in 20 mM sterile Hepes buffer pH 7.4. A volume of 5 μl was transferred to the cells to generate a test concentration range from 3.16×10-5 M to 3.16×10-9 M (31.6 nM to 3.16 nM) in duplicate. The final DMSO concentration during incubation was 0.4% in all wells. If a compound showed extremely potent activity, it was further diluted 100 times and a new dose-response curve in duplicate measured. An assay stock was thawed and diluted in its ATCC recommended medium and dispensed in a 384-well plate, depending on the cell line used, at a concentration of 400-1600 cells per well in 45 μl medium. For each used cell line the optimal cell density was used. The margins of the plate were filled with phosphate-buffered saline. Plated cells were incubated in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO₂ at 37° C. After 24 hours, 5 μl of compound dilution was added and plates were further incubated for another 72 hours. After 72 hours, 25 μl of ATPlite 1Step™ (PerkinElmer) solution was added to each well, and subsequently shaken for 2 minutes. After 10 minutes of incubation in the dark, the luminescence was recorded on an Envision multimode reader (PerkinElmer).

Dose response curves were generated and GI50, TGI and LC50 values were calculated from the dose response curves. Growth inhibition of 50% (GI50) is the drug concentration resulting in a 50% reduction in the net increase in cell number during the drug incubation as compared to the (untreated) control. TGI (total growth inhibition) stands for the compound concentration causing 0% growth (keeping the cell number constant during the whole experiment=cytostatic effect). The lethal concentration of 50% (LC50) is the concentration of drug resulting in a 50% reduction in cell number at the end of the drug treatment as compared to that at the beginning indicating a net loss of cells following treatment due to toxic effects of the drug.

Example 5

K14-Fyn Y528F transgenic mouse is a model of cSCC that develops pre-cancerous lesions and cSCCs resembling human lesions (Skin tumors in K14-Fyn (Y528F) transgenic mice resemble AK and cSCC and demonstrate strong activation of the PDK-1/mTOR/S6 pathway Zhao L, Li W, Marshall C, Griffin T, Hanson M, Hick R, Dentchev T, Williams E, Werth A, Miller C, Bashir H, Pear W, Seykora J T (2009), Cancer Res; 69:9439-9447. Src family tyrosine kinases (SFK) regulate cell proliferation, and increased SFK activity is common in human carcinomas, including cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCC) and its precursors. The elevated SFK activity in cutaneous cSCC was modeled using K14-Fyn Y528F transgenic mice, which spontaneously form punctate keratotic lesions, scaly plaques, and large tumors resembling actinic keratoses, cSCC in situ, and cSCC, respectively. Lesional tissue showed increased levels of activated SFKs, PDK1, STAT3, and ERK1/2, whereas Notch1/

NICD protein and transcript levels were decreased. p53 levels also were decreased in cSCC in situ and cSCC.

We asked whether topically applied PI3K/mTOR inhibitors specifically targeting the PI3K/mTOR pathway should induce regression of cSCCs in K14 Fyn Y528F mice by either topical or systemic (PO) application (50 mg/kg PO QD). The oral application of 50 mg/kg PO QD is known to produce pharmacological significant levels of Compound 1* (Cmax: 2-4 uM). 6-week-old cohorts of K14-Fyn Y528F mice were treated with a topical application of a gel containing Compound 1* (10 mg of Compound 1*) or nothing (control) were dissolved in 75 ul of DMSO and then propyleneglycol was added to 1000 mg (final concentration is 1% (w/w) (FIG. 1B).

The Compound 1* treated cohort contained 6 mice with 20 cSCC lesions (FIG. 1B) while the control cohort contained 6 mice with 15 cSCC lesions (FIG. 1A). The size of each SCC was measured using calipers before treatment and weekly thereafter. The cSCCs varied from 4-68 mm² in size (size range of cSCCs in each cohort was similar. Gels were applied to lesions daily once Mo-Fr.

As shown in FIGS. 1B and 1C, the once daily topical application of Compound 1* gel induced almost complete regression of all cSCC lesions in the K14-Fyn Y528F model without prominent inflammation or ulceration within 4 weeks. These data strongly suggest that topical application of potent dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors may be useful for treating cSCC. The efficacy of the oral application is determined as is the histology and IHC.

For histology and immune-histochemical (IHC) analysis of the PI3K/mTOR biomarker (pAKT and pS6), minimally invasive (2-3 mm thick) skin biopsies are taken and analyzed at several time points, such as 1) at start of oral treatment, 2) after 1 week, 3) after 3 weeks, in addition to taking and analyzing blood levels of Compound 1*. Biopsies are taken at areas of low sensitivity, e.g. on shoulders and must be taken in close neighbourhood in order to ensure comparability (skin has different thickness at different body areas). The skin is frozen and analysis is done by IHC and extraction, followed by LC/MS analysis of Compound 1*. Rough estimation of drug concentration needed for therapeutic effect, which depends on potency and physicochemical properties, are around 0.1-3 microgram/gram tissue. This procedure will be replicated also during the the peroral treatment.

Example 6

Daily oral application of Compound 1* gel induced almost complete regression of all cSCC lesions in the K14-Fyn Y528F model without prominent side effects. The histology and IHC for the biomarker in tumor lesions and blood is performed and the assessment of skin and plasma level of Compound 1* are addressed in clinical neodjuvant study in man.

Example 7 Pig Skin Penetration of the Inventive Compounds

The assessment of percutaneous permeation is key to the successful development of new products and formulations intended for human use. Moreover, it is further important for bioequivalence assessments of locally acting products in the pharmaceutical industry. More commonly used models to conduct skin-permeation studies are ex vivo human or animal skin. Through the standardization of protocols and techniques, the available skin models can be useful as surrogate models for in vivo human skin to evaluate the bioequivalence of topical products. A wide range of animal models has been used as alternatives to human skin to evaluate percutaneous permeation of substances. Since porcine (pig) skin is histologically similar to human skin with a comparable SC thickness of 21-26 μm. In addition, the average hair-follicle density in porcine ear skin is 20/cm² compared to 14-32/cm² in human forehead skin. As well as being similar to human skin, porcine ear skin is also convenient to obtain and has been widely used in skin-permeation studies. Therefore to mimic human skin penetration the use of pig skin either ex vivo or in vivo is sufficient and predictable.

Ex vivo and in vivo models to assess the penetration of various drug substances including the inventive compounds in the skin of pigs have been established. This model allows to assess the PK profile of several drug candidates including the inventive compounds in one subject, thereby enhancing comparability and avoiding inter-subject variability.

In the first study (FIG. 3, Table 15) the PK profiles of nine test formulations have been assessed using 80% SBECD either at pH3 or pH 7. Cpd1* and Cpd3 as 1% experimental formulations penetrated into pig skin (lower epidermis and dermis) to a significant extent ex vivo, despite drying up on the skin after a few hours post application. In comparison with Aldara, a cream containing 5% of the TLR7 agonist imiquimod, the intrinsic penetration properties of Cpd1* were estimated to be similar to imiquimod, while those of Cpd3 were slightly lower.

A further study was performed to investigate the skin PK profile of 4 test formulations in ex vivo pig skin: 1% Cpd1* in a 90% propylene glycol (PG)/10% oleyl alcohol (OA), 1% Cpd1* in a 100% PG formulation, 1% Cpd3 in a 90% PG/10% OA formulation and the control formulation Aldara (containing 5% imiquimod). The PK profiles are presented in Table 16 and in FIG. 4. Cpd1* in a 90% PG and 10% OA formulation showed the highest skin penetration followed by the Cpd3 in 90% PG and 10% OA. The skin concentration of Cpd1* in 100% PG alone was lower compared with the preparation containing 10% OA, but was still much higher than the skin concentration of the control formulation Aldara. The skin PK profile of Cpd3 in 100% PG was comparable to Cpd1*. Thus, both Cpd1* and Cpd3 do not need the penetration enhancer oleyl alcohol for significant skin penetration.

In conclusion, topical treatment of pig skin ex vivo with Cpd1* and Cpd3 in 1% experimental preparations containing the standard solvent propylene glycol resulted in high drug concentrations in the lower epidermis and dermis, which were higher compared to skin concentrations achieved after topical treatment with the standard product Aldara (containing 5% imiquimod).

In conclusion, topical treatment of pig skin ex vivo with Cpd1* and Cpd3 in 1% experimental preparations containing the standard solvent propylene glycol resulted in high drug concentrations in the lower epidermis and dermis, which were higher compared to skin concentrations achieved after topical treatment with the standard product Aldara (containing 5% imiquimod).

Thus, the formulations of Cpd1*and Cpd3 (each 1% in propylene glycol) has been tested in a pig skin ex-vivo study and high penetration into epidermis and dermis found, superior to Aldara (5% imiquimod). The aim of a further study is to measure the skin penetration of the same formulations of Cpd1*and Cpd3 in pigs in vivo. The following formulations were tested:

-   -   1% Cpd1* in propylene glycol (PG)     -   1% Cpd1* propylene glycol with thickener (PG+TH)     -   1% Cpd1* in PEG     -   Imiquimod as control formulation (Aldara 5% cream)

Except for the PEG formulation significant levels of Cpd1* were found after the stratum corneum removed by tape stripping in epidermis and dermis of the living pig (FIG. 5).

Example 8 Pig Skin Penetration of the Inventive Compounds

The hairless (Hr) gene encodes a transcriptional co-repressor highly expressed in the mammalian skin. In the mouse, several null and hypomorphic Hr alleles have been identified resulting in hairlessness in homozygous animals, characterized by alopecia developing after a single cycle of relatively normal hair growth. Mutations in the human ortholog have also been associated with congenital alopecia. Although a variety of hairless strains have been developed, outbred SKH1 mice are the most widely used in dermatologic research. These unpigmented and immunocompetent mice allow for ready manipulation of the skin, application of topical agents, and exposure to UVR, as well as easy visualization of the cutaneous response. Wound healing, acute photobiologic responses, and skin carcinogenesis have been extensively studied in SKH1 mice and are well characterized. In addition, tumors induced in these mice resemble, both at the morphologic and molecular levels, UVR induced skin malignancies in man (Benavidesa F, Oberyszynb T M, VanBuskirkc A M, Reeved V E, Kusewitta, D F (2009). The hairless mouse in skin research. J Dermatol Sci. 2009 January; 53(1): 10-18). In fact, irradiation of SKH-1 for 20 minutes with UV-B per day results in an actinic keratosis (AK) that resembles the AK in human.

As shown in FIG. 6 there was a significant effect of the topical daily treatment of Cpd1* compared to non treated (NT) or vehicle treated (V) mice.

The effect of Cpd1* was lost when the treatment was discontinued (FIG. 7).

In summary treatment of AK induced by UV in the SKH-1 mouse model is effectively reduced and prevented by the topical daily treatment with Cpd1*.
